This short and more compact Kopis with its forward sloping blade delivers fierce chopping power beyond what is typical of a sidearm dagger. The blade is crafted from sharpened 1095 high carbon steel. The spine is robust and thick; the blade and its grip tang are crafted from a single steel billet to ensure it has the most durable construction possible.

The grip is completed with steel-riveted plates of polished bone and included is a sheath of thick leather with an integrated belt loop and brass-buttoned retaining strap.

A Greek design, the Kopis seems to have been purpose-built for hacking and chopping into and past the wearable defenses of the time. This brutal capability ensured it was a popular weapon for Greek Hoplites and Peltasts.
